“I am for conservative values, not personality”

I strongly believe in conservative values. You sound like Romney bragging about how he was a “severe conservative”. Boehner and McConnell brag about how conservative they are.

I want someone who can get things done. I want someone who the liberal establishment fears and will take seriously.

I am sick of politically correct politicians with their memorized talking points who fold like a cheap suit when faced with opposition from the media or the liberal establishment.

Ok. It is actually a word even if it was used incorrectly in the article. My other points still stand.

No more or less delusional than the average anti-Palin post in FR lately.

Yeah what the heck happened?? People hate Trump so much that they have to tear Sarah apart as well? What's next...eviscerate anyone who mentions Trump?

Trump has no legislative record. No votes. He's basically a clean slate. He's stating conservative values (pro-life, cut government spending, protect 2nd amendment, protect Christianity) yet there are some who would prefer to dig through his past statements....statements that he makes basically to curry favor with politicians to grease the wheels...and says THAT'S what he will do.

Crazy town.

Blatant attack?

Sorry sir, it's a warning that he's in danger of darkening his own soul due to his bitterness.

No one else but another bitter Cruz or lose gang member would construe it as an attack.

You should consider that you have misjudged Trump rather than misjudged Sarah.

Yep. She sounds like she’s always sounded. Her voice hasn’t changed.

“Your were expecting, maybe, coherence from that bunch?”

Usually their articles are simple and one dimensional. For example: Trump is a racist, Trump is a hater. Trump will implode.

Now that these articles have proved to be false they are trying to present a more complex point of view.

And they are failing miserably.

My two cents, FWIW (probably not that much).

Governor Palin, as much as any political figure, has tried to advance the cause of conservatism over the last 7 years. Indeed, she was nearly a lone voice in the wilderness during the initial years of the Obama Administration.

She was at the front lines during the 2010 and 2014 uprising - which resulted in significant gains by the Republican Party.

She did her best to get principled conservatives elected to office...only to then see most of them seduced by the silver tongues of the GOP establishment.

What she's doing now, however, has nothing to do with advancing a conservative agenda*. She's going all in, similar to what she did in Alaska, to blow up the paradyn and throw the Corrupt Bastards out.

Now, if she's successful, will the results be better or worse than the present situation? I have no idea.


*H/T to Rush.

Here's a good video analyzing the dynamic of those lies:

The Untruth About Donald Trump

Lengthy, but quite comprehensive.

I'd recommend anyone with the time to watch it. I did.
